    PLAXIS 2D CE V22.01.00 Release notes

    New in PLAXIS 2D CONNECT Edition V22 Update 1

    Release: May 2022


    PLAXIS 2D CONNECT Edition V22 (22.01.00.452) contains the following improvements and updates compared to PLAXIS 2D CONNECT Edition V22.00:

    Compatibility notes: Due to the major changes in the material database and the unit system, PLAXIS 2D CONNECT Edition Version 22 will be installed alongside Version 21, instead of overwriting it. When opening PLAXIS 2D V21 projects with PLAXIS 2D V22, projects will automatically be saved as a converted copy with the _converted suffix and will require recalculation. When using non-SI-units, the mesh also needs to be regenerated.
    The PLAXIS 2D CONNECT Edition V21 projects will remain unchanged.
    Earlier versions of PLAXIS will not be able to open files saved in PLAXIS 2D V22.

    New features

    Importing closed polycurves as polygons
    Added support for importing closed polycurves as polygons, easing the import of soil layers from CAD files.
    Creating polygons from closed polycurves
    Added support for creation of polygons from closed polycurves. This can be directly done from the drawing canvas, or via the command line.
    Command for retrieving results from cross-sections in Output
    Added the getcrosssectionresults command for retrieving results from cross-sections in Output.

    Fixed issues

    The following known issues have been fixed in this version:

    • Solved: [629857] PLAXIS Design Approach partial factor not applied to material parameters when loading older files
    • Solved: [791427] Fixed an issue in the calculation manager that prevented proper saving of the files when the calculation was finished
    • Solved: [845837] Staged construction information on the embedded beam connection was not always correct. To avoid confusion, the information is currently hidden, and should be reviewed in structures mode.
    • Solved: [861673] Some Output results may not consider project units in PLAXIS CONNECT Edition V22.00

    A large number of issues have been addressed, including:

    • [379683] Fixed an issue in the calculation when having multiple discharge functions in your model setup.
    • [450763] Fixed an issue when PLAXIS would crash when trying to open a model in which some groups were removed.
    • [466741] Improved the Jupyter notebook scripting reference and fixed some typos.
    • [485345] It is again possible to rename the labels of the Design Approaches via the User Interface and the command line.
    • [518340] Improved clarity in the explanation of the drainage types in the material database.
    • [556364] Improved side panel info for Geogrid and Anchor stiffness input values
    • [624566] Fixed an issue in reopening a saved cross-section curve.
    • [634710] Material manual documentation improvements for the Hardening Soil model
    • [693858] Unsaturated behaviour is not (yet) available for discontinuity elements, and so this option is removed from the input settings.
    • [699035] Improvements on calculation feedback when using Design Approaches
    • [715006] Do not allow elastoplastic structural elements with Np=0 and Mp=0 at the same time to prevent unexpected results.
    • [726398] Reintroduced side panel information for change of permeability ck.
    • [740014] Improvement in tolerances for the checkgeometry command
    • [766196] The proper and editable soil material parameters are all shown again in Sensitivity Analysis and Parameter Variation.
    • [766214] Synchronized the order of soil material parameters in Sensitivity Analysis and Parameter Variation to match the material database UI order.
    • [773390] Fixed an issue to allow varying undrained shear strength again in Sensitivity Analysis and Parameter Variation.
    • [773408] Hydraulic conductivity values for Non-porous and Undrained C materials are now set to zero to be consistent with the drainage type.
    • [777106] Fixed a type on the explanation of the bulk modulus and shear modulus for the UBC-3PLM model.
    • [777971] Improved the display of partial factor labels in the material database when using Design Approaches.
    • [782938] As in SS and SSC model, the parameter M is not a strength parameter, it does not belong to the Strength section in the material database.
    • [784097] Reordered the parameter list in the User Interface for UDCAM-S.
    • [784122] Reordered the parameter list in the User Interface for UDCAM-S.
    • [786074] Fixed an issue in importing DXF files that contain partly duplicated geometry
    • [792340] In some cases the imported DXF geometry would not be properly accessed via the Model Explorer, leading to a crash.
    • [792556] Improved clarity for anchor material datasets in axisymmetric models.
    • [794746] Fixed an issue with the Model and Selection explorer when trying to access the currently assigned soil material of a soil element.
    • [803599] Fixed an issue for UDCAM-S when using the cyclic accumulation tool and updating the main material parameters.
    • [804411] It is again possible to define a negative value for the incremental strength for NGI-ADP models.
    • [809493] Loading SoilTest result files did not show the used material parameters and values properly
    • [809499] Saving SoilTest configurations preserves file extension
    • [811866] Re-introduced the Pressure Meter Test (PMT) in SoilTest for the Hardening Soil model
    • [812334] Fixed an issue when reading PLAXIS files with embedded beam materail sets that contain large axial resistance tables.
    • [845918] PLAXIS Soiltest optimization would check only againsts the base tier, and not the currently used tier (Advanced, Ultimate). This is now resolved
    • [801953] Importing from CAD files with very small polycurves could lead to a crash.
